Daily notes for PT and PTA therapists

What you type

Session details that contain no patient-identifying information — clinical shorthand, abbreviations, full sentences, or any mix — plus your treatment times. There is no format to learn.

What comes back

A complete, billing-ready therapy note with appropriate CPT billing codes and CMS 8-minute rule unit calculations: the note for that session — daily, treatment, or visit note, whatever your setting calls it. Copy it and paste it into any EHR. Need to fix a detail or add a time? Send a follow-up and Brevara updates the note without starting over.

Inside the app, notes calculate under the CMS rule. To check the math yourself, the free 8-minute rule calculator offers both the CMS rule and the AMA Rule of Eights.

What’s checked for you

• Minutes checked before you copy; units calculated by the 8-minute rule
• Assist level never guessed — a missing level shows as [Min/Mod/Max] A for you to fill in
• Supervision line on every PTA note
• In-home place-of-service line on in-home visits
• Standard homebound statement when you turn Homebound on
• Maintenance-therapy option

Your discipline and setting, on each note

Choose PT or PTA when you sign up. Every note starts with that discipline — terminology, supervision language for PTA notes, and code selection — and you can switch it on any note.

• Outpatient — in the clinic or in the patient’s home. In-home visits get an in-home place-of-service line.
• Home Health — a homebound toggle you control, decided per visit. Turn it on and the note includes a standard homebound statement.
• SNF — PDPM-aware language framed around Section GG functional areas.

Typed, not recorded

Brevara does not record audio and does not listen to sessions. It is not a scribe. You type what happened after the visit, and Brevara writes the note.

Nothing you document is written to Brevara’s servers; generated notes exist only in your browser session. Brevara is not a HIPAA-covered platform and is not HIPAA-compliant, so do not enter patient-identifying information.

Questions

What do I type?

Clinical shorthand, abbreviations, full sentences, or any mix, plus your treatment times. There is no format to learn. Leave out anything that identifies the patient.

Does Brevara write PTA notes?

Yes. Choose PTA as the discipline, and every PTA note includes a supervision line.

Does it calculate 8-minute rule units?

Yes. Every note calculates units under the CMS 8-minute rule, and Brevara compares the minutes you typed with the minutes the note bills before you copy it. It’s a safety check, not a guarantee.

What does it cost?

Free for a week. Then $29/month, no contracts. A card is required to start the trial, and it’s charged on day 8 unless you cancel first.
